\ et the net result of Uncle Mack's six hours’ netting operations, carried on with 
all the skill of twenty years as a market fisherman, was less than Al. Foss’ catch bait 
casting, side by side, in the same time, the same day, in the same waters! 
As Jeff Belcher, the guide, says in his sworn statement: 
On January 15, 1918, I was punting Al Foss on the Fenholloway 
River (Florida) and saw Mr. Foss catch seventy-four sea trout and 
eight red fish with Pork Rind Minnows. They were all caught in less 
than six hours’ casting, the boat being at anchor just below the mouth 
of Sloope Creek. These fish weighed from one to eight pounds each and 
he stopped fishing while the fish were still striking, having both of his 
stringers full. During this time Uncle Mack (Philip McAuley) caught 
onl y thirty-two sea trout with his six-hundred-foot net, making many 
strikes near where we were fishing. I have been guiding parties on the river for 
o\ ei eight years, and in all this time I have never seen so many fish taken on any 
kind of a lure before.” 
f\ow you doubting Thomases, you bait casters who console yourselves with the 
t tought that you went a month too early,” or “a month too late for the fish to strike” 
~ y° u w h° h ave never caught over twenty game fish in a day in your lives—there is a 
bettei day coming as soon as you wake up to the fact that the 
Al. Foss Pork Rind Minnows 
will “bring home the bacon” when all others fail 
So th row away your tackle box with its bulky 
contents, put a few AL. FOSS PORK RIND MIN¬ 
NOWS in your pocket and hike forth on your first 
real fishing trip, and have that contentment and 
peace of mind that comes to one who is playing the 
game fair bv fishing

life—but if you don’t get fish with them, you had 
better buy a net and get into LTncle Mack’s class,
